Hello:
=20
I am a UNIX novice! I tried to install FreeBSD 4.4. The=20
results hold some bugs... still.
=20
I purchased a DELL L556cx to operate FreeBSD. In=20
installation of the OS from CD-ROM, it found error. I=20
looked into the manuals and found not find either them or the=20
problem fix-it.
=20
I reset the BIOS to default. It made the three error=20
msgs on installation. As follows...
=20
BTX loader 100 BTX version 1.01
=20
console: internal video/keyboard
=20
/stand/sysinstall running as init on VTY0
=20
These error msgs appeared in light gray. The accepted=20
installations appeared in white text.
=20
-----------------------
=20
A flash menu appeared with the notice
=93Starting Emergency Holographic VTY4.=94
It only appeared for an instant...
=20
-----------------------
=20
In addition I received a notice that the video terminal in=20
application during installation was VTY1. As follows...
=20
=93You may wish to scroll-lock through the debugging messages=20
on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature.=94
=20
What is wrong. How do I fix-it? Where is a=20
reference?
=20
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Tom
